HAMERKOP was established in 2018 in the United Kingdom and is a boutique consultancy specialising in climate change and climate finance, with the intent to trigger social and environmental impacts in developing countries. The vision of HAMERKOP is a world where international climate finance efficiently and directly services the interests and rights of local communities to a clean and resilient development focused on inclusive welfare. HAMERKOP mostly works in developing countries, where it provides advisory services around 3 main pillars:
- Climate project certification and implementation. We support climate change mitigation projects to be certified so they can be partially or fully funded through the sale of carbon offsets on the carbon markets. We also support activities implementation and monitor the ongoing impacts generated by these energy access and nature-based solution projects.
- Independent expert advice on the carbon markets. We provide strategic advice for carbon offset buyers on procuring carbon assets and for project developers on retailing strategies, fundraising and dealing with policy issues; and educational support on the state and structure of the carbon markets, and emerging trends.
- Climate change policy and projects. We support developing countries to formulate and revise their climate change strategies and roadmaps. We work with international organisations and governmental authorities for the design and assessment of climate change adaptation or mitigation projects (incl. ecosystems conservation and restoration), programmes and policies, eligible for climate finance.
HAMERKOP has staff in the United Kingdom and Singapore, and has since 2018 been carrying out 60+ advisory assignments on energy access, climate change, and natural ecosystems restoration in 30+ countries and for 40+ organisations. HAMERKOP works at the intersection of the public and private sectors, with governments, international organisations, NGOs and private companies.
We help our client design, implement, manage and monitor projects and activities in the energy and forestry sectors that deliver measurable social and environmental impacts and are eligible to climate finance mechanisms.
